Abstract

Systems (100, 200, 300, and 400) and method (800) for synchronizing two or more railway assets to optimize energy consumption. Embodiments of the present invention provide receipt of a timetable (110) associated with two or more vehicles (150) and at least one terminal. The timetable (110) can be modified to create a modified timetable that overlaps a brake time for a first vehicle and an acceleration time for a second vehicle, wherein at least one of a departure time or a dwell time is modified. Furthermore, the second vehicle can transfer energy from the first vehicle based upon at least one of the modified timetable and the brake time overlapping with the acceleration time.
